Multi-disciplinary artist Claude Creighton works across sculpture, illustration, performance and community engagement. This event is an exciting opportunity to hear firsthand from Claude about the mentorship experience with Steve Howarth of ERTH, and the expansive puppetry skills they developed.

Keen to learn how you could undertake the mentorship yourself? We are thrilled to announce the third edition of the Catapult + Adelaide Fringe Mentorship open for applications on Thursday 2nd April, supported by Adelaide Fringe!

The opportunity provides a visual artist, craft practitioner or designer with a 9-month artist-led mentorship with a mentor of their choice. The mentorship enriches the successful artist’s professional and creative development through dedicated time spent with their chosen mentor, culminating in an artist talk presented during Adelaide Fringe 2027. Keep an eye out on the Guildhouse socials and mailing list for more information coming soon.

Catapult + Adelaide Fringe is presented in collaboration with Guildhouse and the Adelaide Fringe Foundation.
